Default Freezes on start up

I'm having trouble getting LimeWire to start up. When I open it, all I get is the small box in the middle of the screen with the logo and nothing else. It just stays like that and I can't even close it down unless I reboot the computer!

I have uninstalled and reinstalled LimeWire several times and still have the same problem. I reinstalled Java as well and still nothing. Does anyone know what the problem might be???

Thanks!

Read here, that might help:

And if it doesn't then maybe changing the compatibility mode might also have an effect. Right click the exe icon, go Properties>Compatibility and change it to Windows NT (or Windows 2000)

I had already gone through all the steps on the thread you suggested without success. I verified my Java installation and it tells me I have the latest version. I tried changing the compatibility mode to both Windows NT and Windows 2000 and still have the same problem. I'm really confused as up until recently I'd never had a problem with LimeWire!
